Icelandic Miniatures

Miniature: "A short game (usually no more than 20 to 25 moves). Usually only decisive games (not draws) are considered miniatures, and a miniature should not be spoiled by an obvious blunder by the losing side. A miniature may also qualify as a brilliancy. The Opera game is a famous example." From Wikipedia.

Icelandic Miniatures #1 - Nimzo-Indian (Three Knights Variation)

Icelandic Miniatures #2- Four Knights (Schultze-Mueller Gambit 4.Nxe5 aka Halloween Attack )

Icelandic Miniature #3 - Dutch (Staunton Gambit accepted)
Icelandic Miniatures #4 - Sicilian ( Kan Variation)

Bunratty Masters, Weekend Tournament February 2008

B vs B.Galligan(2045), Bunratty08 (1) - Grunfeld
W vs S.Osbourne(2041),Bunratty08(2) - Benoni
B vs S.Short(2033), Bunratty08(3) - Modern

Icelandic Team Championships 07/8, March 2008

B vs S.Arnarsson(2125), Ice Team Ch 0708 Benoni (Four-pawn Attack). My first outing with the Benoni. A pretty good game I think and I liked some dynamic moves like ...b5 in this game.
B vs Hallgrimsson(0), Ice Team Ch 0708 - Modern. Huge rating difference. Black takes no chances, just keeps the pieces on, gets the bishop pair and applies the pressure till white collapses.

Reykjavik Open, March 2008

B vs Stelios Halkias(GM), RvkOpen2008(1) - Semi-Slav (Moscow Variation Bxf6) A very instructive game. Opening part is interesting and Halkias sacrifices a piece which was a very interesting bluff as he later revealed. Some general GM techniques are demonstrated such as in-between moves and waiting moves in the endgame. Finally we learn the proper technique for winning similar endgames and then a harsh lesson in rook endings as black should have held on.
W vs Chr. Gueneau(2126), RvkOpen2008(2) - Catalan
B vs Normunds Miezis(GM), RvkOpen2008(3) English. The power of the two bishops. The game seems level but all of a sudden out of nowhere the power of the bishops is demonstrated.
W vs Joh. Ingvason(2125),RvkOpen2008(4) - Catalan. This game demonstrates refutation of an attack that doesn't have positional basis. Black attacks without having any basis to do so, no pieces or no control of center. White controls the center and easily refutes the attack.
B vs E.Hermansson(IM),RvkOpen2008(5) - Modern
B vs J.Halldorsson(2174), RvkOpen08(7) Torre. Passive play by white is punished. Good example of choosing your exchanges adn knowing which pieces to exchange.

Kaupthing Open in Luxemburg, May 2008

B vs Boyarchenko(1877),KaupthingOpen(1) - Modern. Once again the Modern is a good "lower rated slayer" for our "hero". Keeps the pieces on and black wins with solid positional play first and then the tactics flow in the end.

Reykjavik Chess Club Invitational, June 2008

B vs G.Kjartansson RCCInv08(1), Chigorin - Chigorin Defence (3.Nc3) The first usage of openings from "Play 1...Nc6!". The Chigorin did it's part this time in surprising the opponent and black held all the chances in this game but failed to convert.
W vs E.Lund(IM,2420), RCCInv08(02) - English (1.Nf3 d6!? 2.c4 e5)
B vs Bj.Thorfinnsson(2417), KID Kings Indian
